Lyrics
In my room has got two windows And sunhine never comes through Ya know, it's oh so dark and lonely Since I broke it off girl, with you I live on a lonely avenue Little girl don't say, 'I do' And it's oh, so sad and blue It's-a all because a-you I could cry (I could cry, I could cry) I wanna die (I could die, I could die) I live on a (lonely avenue) I live on a (lonely avenue) Well, my cover's they feel like lead And my pillow it feels like stone But I toss and turn so ev'ry night I'm not used to being alone I live on a lonely avenue I live, girl don't say, 'I do' Ooh, feel so sad and blue And it's all because of you I could cry (I could cry, I could cry) Oooh-oh! (I could die, could die, could die) Yes, now I'm on a lonely avenue Ooh, baby (lonely avenue) Be Bop a Lula (she's my baby) Four o'clock in the mornin' There's new full moon Shinin' down through the trees Four o'clock in the mornin', yeah Ooh, the moon lookin' through the trees I can see my baby (Can see my baby) But she can't see me (But she can't see me, now darlin') Rain is over It's already wet How you suppose to know Just what you get? Ya gimme the highlight You leave out the rest You know what they told me They said, 'The west is best' Keep on tryin' Just all night long It's a family affair It's a family affair It's a family affair Ooo-ooo ♪ Daughter and mother and papa It's a family affair ♪ Tell me about your brother And you sister Family affair Family affair It's a family affair, yeah ♪ It's a family affair It's a family affair Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooo Hear it for Jonn Savannah, Jonn Savannah Van, can you excuse me?

It's up to you! (Hahahaha) Will it be real soon Or will it be when I hit ninety-three? Sooner or later Gonna tell ya, it's gonna end Sooner or later I do think it's gonna end Will it be real soon Or will it be when I get in my empty grave? Whiskey an' women Brought me to my knees I, I, said, whiskey an' women That brought me to my knees Did I live my life too fast? Now you thought, it's so almighty deep The Blues, the whole blues and nothing but the blues The whole blues and nothing but the blues You got the blues The whole blues Nothin' but the blues He's called, Jimmy Witherspoon That's what he said I want the one down the line-a Give me somethin' that was truly fine-a She'll be cool-a She'll be strong-a She'll be Real Real Gone Gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone So lonely in here So lonely in here Oh, I wanna move Oooooh, down the line-a I wanna give her some lovin' Truly fine Show, you-you-you-you-you You-you-you-you-you Oow!
